Has anyone had this pompous prick as a referee this year? I've never bashed a referee publically but conversing with several coaches and OTHER REFEREES alike as long with parents who have had the horrible circumstance to cross pathes with this wretched excuse for chemically imbalance individual I have to voice my opinion here. What is his deal? Why is he still refereeing in this state if everytime he does it becomes a near tragic event usually almost ending in violence towards him? One parent who is also an official in his spare time said it best, "He is worried about everything outside the lines and never worried about anything happening inside the lines." I hope you read these boards Dennis because I cannot for the life of me understand why he is still allowed to referee when time and time again reports are filed via phone, email and other proper procedures to act against him. I know for a fact that he refereed during the Airport Girls tournament this weekend and caused yet another scene after causing a really unfortunate scene earlier in W. Columbia. You've got Fred the Beave touching people here and there with his don't talk to me or I'll have you arrested attitude and then you've got freakin Patrick Cunningham throwing out scorekeepers and issuing yellow and red cards because a female coach "hurt his feelings". I mean what is with these people? You wonder sometimes why this only happens in soccer because you sure don't see it in the big-three. Does the SCHSL not give a rip about how soccer officials conduct themselves or is someone simply not doing their job to regulate finks like these from, I use this term loosely, officiate the matches of high school student athletes?
If you have had a run in with the one Patrick Cunningham, who is from California and there they stop the clocks at 5 minutes til the half, make parents stand on a certain sideline, and feed the workings of "not hurting feelings" from Sesame Street to overgrown men with larger than average bucket heads, I invite you to share it here publically in hopes that some official will read this and ban him from refereeing in this state...FOR GOOD.
